At Crowborough, last seen at Ardingly getting into a Transit bound for Wiltshire! I've got another one that I got at Old Sodbury sortout at Newbury...]]>

Looking at those packages and the item descriptions they would appear to be very similar to those used for MoD vehicle parts. ]]>

This arrived during the week. A complete (unused?)Kent-type sprayer - government issue. It includes a parts list which confirms that all parts/spares are included and except for the cup leather (installed) are still in unopened packets. Even the shoulder strap webbing is still tied up with string.

The only things missing appear to be the wooden packing case it will have come in and instructions. I may have to make up a packing case so I can keep all the bits together.

This is probably a sprayer I will not polish up.

The spares are still sealed in their plastic packs, the spanners are in their waxed paper and the funnel and sieve are still heavily greased.
